16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1896. “In any case the Seventh-street outlet | is almost a certainty. This can be seen | by the preparations made, and the mate- | rial used in the branch line which runs out Seventh street from Townsend on NEW IDEA FOR | The rails on a portion of this track weigh 1105 pounds to the yard, which are the | heaviest steel rails laid on any road on = ‘ this coast. “‘Again, the Seventh-street drawbridge One May Be Located at the|exists in' name only, as can be scen by M k t nd Seventh observing that the railroad company’s arket a Street Corner. | track is continuous and solidly laid, with | no posaibility of the bridge being ovened. However, at present, and probably for all | time to come, there will be no necessity for opening this bridge because the creek west of it is filled in and made impractible for navigation. ‘“Yes, the Kentucky - street so - called right of way has been abandoned.

They did not, however, abandon this drawbridge until after they had secured a franchise to extend their tracks along Seventn street, from Town- end to Santa Clara, then down Santa | Clara to Illinois. In that way they reacued their warehouses and wharves south of Channel street and east of Ken- tucky. for the purpose of connecting with the Union Iron Works, the Spreckels sugar refinery and other large industries estab- | lished on the Potrero. Their new bay route will probably burrow into the Potrero hills just where Seventh street, if extended, would come Among the contemplated projects of the | Southern Pacific Company is evidently one to establish a depot at Seventh and Market streets. This it has no lmmodia_le intentions of doing, but all its plans in connection with bringing in the Southern Pacific Railroad trains on this side of the bay indicate that such is its hope and aim. From one high in the councils comes the information that bears on this matter. The statement that such is the purpose of the corporation is not a direct one. The idea is one that is apparently not new to the railroad magnates, and the plans lead- ing to the desired end are being developed in the most perspicacious and least alarm- | ing manner In the course of an interview with an of] the service of the Southern Pa- cific Railroad Company yesterday con- siderable new information was obtained concerning the future plarsof the com- pany relative to the new route to Baden. | ri sduced in yesterday’s Cary, was absolut Of course, the company will not yield its right to the ntof tideland it by the Legisla- v correct. ve T into Mariposa street, or somewhere be- ture without a struggle.

From the exit of this tunnel to Baden the route is easy, and presents no engineering or other difficulties. *The above described route, as laid out from Mission Bayv to the County line, is almost in an air line, and, although being for almost the entire distance within a few minutes’ walk of thickly populated dis- tricts, it is laid out for the greater part of the distance through vacant lands.” MUST WAIT TILL JULY. No Contracts for Bituminizing Folsom Street Will Be Let for Three Months Yet. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors disposed of a large amount of work at its meeting yesterday. It was decided to report in favor of the acceptance of Fillmore street, from Thir- teenth to Hermann, and the crossing of Twenty-second and Tennessee streets. The commitee agreed to report favorably on the following petitions: Commercial Transier Company, to erect a portable office at 43 Sutter streei; Merchants’ ociation, to offer on April 23 suggestions specifications for street-sweeping; Williams, Belser & Co., foT a private contract {o construct, vith to the t in view of the fact t a suit- able outlet from these terminal grounds bad not been settied upon, the company did not know what class of improvements { be necessary at the time that it ac- quired ssession. Since then, however, the condition of affairs has changed, and the comp: a pretty good idea necessities in this direction. Tbe the coast line to Los ion with the New Orleans line leaves no doubt as to the ab- | solute necessity of having a suitable depot on this side of the be “To this end the at the foot of Seventh street has been definitely settled upon as the proper place to locate the depot. The proposed line as laid out for a connection at Baden will prove that the | Seventh-street site is the only suitable one upon which to erect a depot. “This same idea had been entertained by Governor Stanford for years before his death, and since his death the present management has not seen any reason for | a change of plan. A glance at the City map will show how completely the Southern Pacific Company has the proposed depot site connected with | the numerous lines of the Market-street railway tem—cable and electric. These run north and south along Third, Fourth, | Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth streets, and east west along Townsend from Third street, where the freight sheds are | located, alone Bluxome from Fourth to Fifth, along Bryant, Brannan, Howard, Mission and Marketstreets. Thus there 1s not a phost of a show for any other street | raiiroad to come anywhere near the section, which will be in all probability one of siest of San Francisco when the inten- tions of the company are fully and finally consummated. They also use this new extension | stone’s | “Now there is yet a scheme in the minds of those who control the machinery of this great corporation that has not here- tofore been made public. 1t is this: *'You will observe that the new Postoffice will be built on Seventh and Mission | streets. To get the material to that place irom Townsend street, where it necessari will be brought from milland quarry, a line of track will be laid on Seventh street from Townsend to Market street. Along this street the Southern Pacific Company’s | street railway ally holds a franchise for a cable road “This will no doubt be changed to an electric line, which will be consiructed | upon the same gauge as the Southern Pacific Company’s regular track, so that the cars containing the Postoflice material can without trouble or ioss of time be | switched onto the electric line and pro- | pelled to its destination. But—" | Here the gentleman stopped and with a | siznificant glar.ce and a smile aaded : | *'It may be that such would be the ton- nage of the material that an electric motor would be unable to move the cars. In that case, and inasmuch as the contract with the United States Government would admit of no unneces:ary delays, it might become olutely necessary to hook on a steam engine to haul the heavy cars, This hauling could be done during the night when there would be no passengers to be carried. “So you can see that if the company once got the use of Seventh street for steam service it might bs able to demon- strata the great benefit of having a pas- | senger depot at or near Market street, | close to the General Postoffice, where mails could be received and delivered without the necessity of transmission in | express vagous, as is now being done. . | a sewer in Alabama street, between Nineteenth and Twentieth; City Street mprovement Com- pany for a release from a contract to pave Beale strect, from Fosom to Harrison and from Harrison to Bryant. The Street Superintendent was directed | to require the property-owners on the west line of Twenty-fourth avenue. between A and C streets, to remove the sand that has drifted upon the sidewalk and to construct bulkheads. The following proposed work was post- poned for six months: Paving of Front, from Clay to Washington; paving of Fifteenth, from Noe to Castro; chang. illez of the grades and paving of Greenwich alley. The petition of James McCoy for an ex- tension of sixty days on his contract to grade Montgomery avenue was denied; also his petition for release from his con- | tract to grade Polk, from Greenwich to Lombard. The protest against the construction of a sewer in Lyon and Chestnut street to Beach was set for hearing on A pril 20, The petition of the Mutual Telephone Company for a telephone franchise was again beard to-day, and owing to the ab- sence of Chairman Spreckels action upon 1t was deferred. Representatives of the Folsom-street and South Side Improvement clubs ap- peared before the committee and urgea that contracts be awarded for the paving of Folsom street, between Sixth and Third, in order to complete the South Side boulevard system. They were told that no money could be spared for this work at present. They were told that contracts had been awarded for the paving of the street from Sixth to Nineteenth, and that the improvement involved an expenditure of $34,000. The committee promised to award the other contracts next July. The Street Superintendent was directed to require property-owners to pave Bay street, from Leavenworth to Jones, with cobbles.

THE COMING OF A BIG CONVENTION, National Christian Endeav-| orers May Assemble in This City. | WILLIAM SHAW’S VISIT The International Treasurer Will Arrive Here by Next Saturday. } LOCAL MEMBERS ARE ACTIVE Committees Formed to Make Every Possible Effort to Secure the Great Gathering. William Shaw, the treasurer of the United Society of Christian Endeavor and the World's Society of Christian Endeavor, the largest organized body of young peo- | really business manager of the United So- ciety, and his opinion in these matters will have great weight with the Christian En- deavorers in the East.” The Christian Endeavorers of this State are fully aroused to the importance of using every effort to bring the great con- vention West. Last July the convention was held in Boston and 1t was without dis- pute the largest religious assembly ever convened. Over 56,000 delegates were pres- ent from all parts of the world. Not only were Endeavorers present from India, China, Japan, Alaska, Australia and al- most every portion of the globe—not only were all these present, but those represent- ing the largest bodies of Christian En- deavor came as accredited delegntes—Rev. W. J. L. Closs for the 1509 societies of Aus- tralia, Rev. W. K. Chaplin for the 2500 so- cieties of England and the Rev. John Pol- lock 1or the 200 societies of Scotland. While it 1s not expected, owing to the location of San Francisco, that such large numbers as attended the Boston conven- tion can be brought to this City, the Chris- tian Endeavorers feel sure that a moderate estimate of the Eastern delegates will at least number 10,000, in addition to which will be the Pacific Coast delegates who will number about 15,000. % The '97 committee appointed by the En- deavorers to bring this convention West consists of Rolla V. Watt of the Royal In- surance Company, J. S. Webster of Nen- stadter Bros., C. Z. Merritt of Miller & Lux, Donald Mackenzie and C. F. Baker of Crocker-Woolworth National Bank. MIDNIGHT PROWLERS. Two Suspected Burglars Arrested at an Early Hour in the Mission. Joseph Albright and Edward Lee were arrested on Mission street early yesterday .\\'II,I,IAM SHAW, TREASURER WORLD'S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. ple in the world, is now on his way to this | Civy, | Mr. Shaw will arrive in San Francisco | at 10:45 A. M., April 18, and will speak that | evening in Oakland. On the following | afternoon, Sunday, April 19, he will ad- dress » mass-meeting of the Christian En- | deavorers at the Young Men’s Christian | Association. While in this State he will visit Sacramento, San Jose, Los Angeles | and San Diego. and address mass-meetings at each of these places to stir up interest | in the international convention to be heid | at Washington, D. C., in July of this year. Mr. Shaw’s chief purpose in visiting this State, however, will be to ascertain whether | San Francisco is in a position to entertain | the international convention of Christian Endeavor in 1897. Mr. 8haw is anxious to know how interested the people of this State are in the great convention and if sufticient accommodations can be secured for so large a delegation as will come to this City. It will be remembered that in May, 1894, John Willis Baer, the secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, visited this City with the object of secur- ing from the railroad companies the special rates necessary to obtain for this City the annual convention of 1895, Owing to a disagreement existing at that time between the members of the Trans- continental Association Mr. Baer was | not successful, and the convention was won by Boston. But the Endeavorers of California were determined to bring one of the great international conventions to the Golden Gate, and, finding it impossible to sccure the special rates necessary for 1895, they made a strong fight for the convention of 1897. While no rate has been fixed as yet, the “’97 committee” appointed by the Golden Gate Christian Endeavor Union to secure the convention for California is of the firm belief that the rates which they are desirous of obtaining will be given. They believe that the action of the Trans- continental Association in fixing a rate of $50 for the round trip to Chicago and San Francisco for the Republican National Convention is a sure guarantee that a like rate will be given them, especiaily when the convention will be so much larger. Rolla V. Watt, who 1s chairman of the '97 commitiee and chairman of the com- mittee to receive Mr. Shaw, when seen yesterday said : *Mr. Shaw is coming here to look over the field as an officer of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, inci- dentaliy to encourage the Christian En- deavor workers and talk up the interna- tional convention to be held at Washing- ton next July. But Mr. Shaw is coming out here principally to asceriain whether San Francisco or California is really in a position to suitably entertain so large a body as the '97 convention will be. He will also see that the cost of the conven- tion—amounting to §20,000—be fully guar- anteed before the California delegation leaves this City for the Washington con- vention, and determine as to whetner suitable meeting places and hotel accom- modations are to be found. “The convention meetings will be largely attended,” said Mr.Watt, “‘and there will be three in progress at one time. Three large halls or tents, seating over 6000 eaclrt will be required. All the delegates pay their own expenses, but must be sure of suitable accommodations before the convention is Mr. Shaw is the treasurer and morning by Policemen Thompson and Blackman. They were taken to the Seven- street station, and on being searched a set of burglar’s tools was found upon Albright. He was booked for hav- ing burglar's tools in bis possession, and Lee bad a charge of vagrancy registered against him. They appeared in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning, and the Judge at once recoznized Lee as a mun who had been | frequently before him on various charges, and against whom a charge of vagrancy had been pending for some time. He had released Lee on Lis own recognizance, and the case was on the calendar for to- morrow. Lee was one of the men arrested about a year ago for robbing and almost killing “Bull” Harrington about that time on Fulton street, near Baker. He was held to answer before the Superior Court, but managed to secure an acquittal. The police are inclined to the belief that Albright and Lee are the two men who have recently been committing burglaries in the Mission, and Thompson and Black- man have been detailed to make an inves- tigation. COMING THESPIANS. Performance by Pupils of the Columbia School. The students of the Columbia School of Dramatic Art gave their sixth public per- formance yesterday afternoon at the Co- lumbia Theater 10 a large audience, which evidently enjoyed the good things pro- vided. The students were all thoroughly acquainted with their lines and showed a marked improvement in their acting. The fencing was quite above the ordi- nary stage duel, although *‘attack’’ seems to have been more studied than guard. One young lady seemed particularly ear- nest in the cut-and-thrust style, and more of the Iatter than the former. The songs and trio from act 1 of an origi- nal opera by A. S. Rnorer speak well for the original opera, if it be all equal to the samples given. A. S. Rhorer and Ira Ladd sang and actea well. Miss Margaret Coleman might have used her voice bet- ter. There were a number of other musical selections. among which were Miss Nora Molloy’s song, “*Come to My Heart,”” and Miss Donar’s reading, with song, “The Singers’ Climax."” The scene from *‘Marie Stuart” was ex- cellently acted by Miss Ireda Gallick and Miss M. Colby. Miss Gallick showed her- self to be the possessor of real dramatic talent, and Miss Colby, with a less showy part, did equally well ss Minna Ferrie, in “Tne Window Curtain,” was good, but she would have been even betterif she had cultivated more repose. R. U. Traver and Miss M. Capwell were both clever in “An Oak in a Storm’’; indeed the lady showed remarkable abllity, and was over- whelmed with flowers and applause. James Keane, who gave a _recitation, showed that he has improved since the last performance. ‘“The Parents’ Tribulation,” a one-act comedy, was well acted by G. Phillips and the Misses S. Gray, C. Lathrop, Helen Maurier. In the Herald's prize play ‘‘Hearts,” Miss Ellen Deane and Miss Henrick es- pecially distinguished themselves. ‘The musical director deserves especial credit for the pure and natural manner in which most of his pupils sang. —————— The Seal Rock’s Picnic.

Ryan & Ryan, 10 Mongomery avenue, * AN OWL SERVICE AND LOW FARES, The Time Propitious for Presenting Reasonable Demands. STOCKHOLDERS TO MEET Owners of the Market-Street Railway to Assemble Within the Next Week. VIEWS OF PRESIDENT CROCKER Reduced Fares Will Be Considered. Manager Vining Discusses an All-Night Service. Within a week there is to be a meetin of the stockholders of the Market-street Railway Company, and those who are agitating for an ‘‘owl” or late service and a 3-cent fare will have an opportunity of presenting their case, such as will not occur again for at least a year. One of the stock replhes to requests for these concessions has been that there was not a sufficient demand for them, but that they emanated from a few chronic discon- tents. Colonel Charles F. Crocker is the presi- dent of the road, and when interviewed yesterday stated that the matter of 3- cent fares had never been officially brought to his attention, and that all he knew about it was what he read in the papers. The matter of a late service, he added, w entirely in the hands of the general man- ager, Mr. Vining. Mr. Crocker then con- tinued : “Personally, I do not wish to express any opinion on the matter, and offi¢ially T would have no right to speak unless the matter comes up before the directors of the company in some way. which would enable them to express their views and adopt a policy, and then authorize me to speak for them. I do not care to express myself,as I could, as you see, only do 5o as an individual, and that I ought not to do. “It is a matter to be carefully considered by the directors, as they alone have the right to say what policy shall be adopted and what course pursued in the face of the present agitation to compel a reduction in fares. “I have no doubt that the matter will come up at the next meeting of the stock- holders for consideration, though, mind you, I donot say that anything will be done. We hope and expect there will be a great many stockholders presert, and nat- urally some one, in view of ail this agita- tion, is sure to bring the matter up, and it will then be discussed and acted upon.” A call was then made upon Mr. Vining relative to the ‘‘owl” service. He saia that when he first came here to take charge of the Market-street railway system some friend called his attention to the evi- dent necessity for an all-night service in a city as large as San Francisco. He re- ferred the matter to the directors, but they decided against it us they did not believe it would prove a paving proposition. It was suggested that the experiment be tried, but this met with opposition on the ground that ifit were once established and then discontinued it would raise a howl against the company worse than any simple agitation for the establishment of such a service. nothing has ever been attempted in that direction. Mr. Vining then stated that it would be impossible to maintain such a service by either electric or cable power, and that if cars were run after 1 o’clock they would have to be horsecars. Continuing he said such a service, say out into the Mission district, would have to be maintained be- tween the hours of 1and 5 A. ., so as to give an all-night service, as the regular time for starting in the morning was 5 A. M., and it would have to be operated from the ferry to China avenue on the line of the Mission-street electric line, a dis- tance of nearly six miles. To run a car every balf hour would re- quire six cars, twenty horses and at least six men. The expense would not be less than $30 a day, and it would therefore re- quire not less than 600 fares, at 5 cents each, to pay the running expenses. Another serious obstacle that had to be considered, he said, was the fact that the Mission-street electric tracks were laid on a broader gauge than the horsecars, and before the cars could be used their gauge would have to be changed, and connecting tracks would also have to be laid from the carhouse at Fourth and Shipley streets to Mission street. This, he said, would in- volve considerable expense. From these interviews it would appear that if proper and concerted action is taken, something may be accomplished both in the way of securing lower fares and in an all-night service. JORDAN ON AGASSIZ. Two Hundred Japanese Addressed by Stanford’s President. At the Japanese Methodist M Pine street last night President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University lectured about Professor Agassiz, one of the great- est scientists of this century and the first man to declare that there had been a time when the earth was covered with a frozen crast. Dr. Jordan said that Agassiz was a Swiss by birth. He was educated at the University of Munich, then, be- cause of its noted teachers, the best uni- versity in the world. Later, Agassiz lived in the Latin quarter of Paris—where Trilby was supposed to live—picturesque to read about, but, like the real Chinatown of San Francisco, explained Dr. Jordan, squalid enough when you see it. Agnssiz came to America in 1846 soon after attaining distinction in Europe and became professor of natural history at Harvard University, gthen ounly a little college. He aiways spoke French with a German accent, German with a French accent and Enclish with both a German and a French accent, but in spite of his imperfect pronunciation Dr. Jordan said he has never heard any man that had such a charming and ready flow of lan- guage as Agassiz. Ho slept on a glacier for seventy con- secutive nights to study its slow move- ments and had rheumatism in one shoul- der the rest of his life. ‘“Joseph Le Conte,a pupil of Agassiz, has been for many yearsthe greatest scien- tist on this coast,”” remarked Dr. Jordan. In 1872 Apassiz instituted a scientific summer school on the little island of Penikeese, near Cape Cod, and Dr. Jordan was the voungest of the fifty students accepted from the 500 applicants. For thisreason, he said, | RY GOODS. /7 RADIANCE AND A\ /77 BEAUTY OF OUR NEWY s () 7 CAPESE JACKETS OUTSHINEY /ANY COMPETING STOCKS: "¢ SPECIAL 3 NT.
